Pre & Post Surgery

Written By Daniel Zumstein

Pre Operative Rehabilitation

Preoperative therapy is just as crucial as postoperative therapy. Changes to the joint structure from osteoarthritis can cause pain, muscle weakness, instability and abnormal walking biomechanics. Early identification, re-education and strengthening of these symptoms can increase postoperative recovery by 30%. Why not get ahead of the game and allow our therapists to support you on your journey to recovery before surgery?

 

  • Pre-op services include a detailed and comprehensive postoperative plan.

 

 Postoperative Rehabilitation

 Our therapists have extensive knowledge and experience via rehabilitation hospitals in Sydney and work closely with several top orthopaedic surgeons.

  • Post operative respiratory management

  • Total Knee, Hip, shoulder and Ankle Replacements

  • Post Fracture rehabilitation

  • Orthopaedic trauma management

  • Spinal Surgery 

  • Shoulder, Hip and Knee reconstruction surgery

  • Amputees

  • Oncology Related Surgery including but not limited to lymphedema management

Many health funds have changed how they provide postoperative rehabilitation. Health funds are steering away from inpatient rehabilitation, and many expect clients to return home straight after surgery. This can be a daunting and stressful time, but rest assured that Infinity Rehab will support this journey, providing the highest standards of care in the comfort of your home.

Postoperative treatment is essential for managing the symptoms directly related to your surgery and any residual preoperative symptoms, including; the joint range of motion, muscle length, strength and walking biomechanics. We at Infinity Rehab strive to educate our therapists and clients on the physiological healing process and the importance of rest and recovery combined with therapeutic treatment. Finding the perfect balance between both enables remarkable recovery and results.

  • Strategic and detailed assessments identifying patient-centred goals.

  • Provisioning safe equipment and aids to support your pre/postoperative journey.

  • Cryotherapy (Game Ready Hire) and swelling management.

  • Soft tissue and manual therapy.

  • Range of motion therapy.

  • Strength Training.

  • Walk Re-Education. 

  • Stairs Education. 

  • Returning to work and daily activities, whether walking 50 metres, returning to the golf course or working up a sweat in your favourite exercise groups.
